I want the same add new functionality as model foreign key select boxes in admin, there the select widget is passed through django.contrib.admin.widgets.RelatedFieldWidgetWrapper to add the additional html (image, links etc).
The __init__.py takes the admin_site instance, I want this functionality for my site, not admin area so I'm trying to extend the class and override the init method so admin_site is not required. from django.contrib.admin.widgets import RelatedFieldWidgetWrapper class MyRelatedFieldWidgetWrapper(RelatedFieldWidgetWrapper): """ This class is a wrapper to a given widget to add the add icon. """ def __init__(self, widget, rel): self.is_hidden = widget.is_hidden self.needs_multipart_form = widget.needs_multipart_form self.attrs = widget.attrs self.choices = widget.choices self.widget = widget self.rel = rel And here's how I'm using it class DDCForm(forms.ModelForm): """ Enables a form to be created from the model """ location = forms.ModelChoiceField(Location.objects.all(), >>> widget=widgets.MyRelatedFieldWidgetWrapper(forms.Select(),XXX)) class Meta: model = DDC I don't know what to replace XXX with, I know it's a db_field <django.db.models.fields.AutoField object at 0x1518150> but I don't know how/where to get it from. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
